Granada Relocation Center

Outlying Area

The locations of the relocation center hog and chicken farms are now farm fields. Numerous other outlying buildings noted on WRA blueprints as WRA-owned are still present, and most are currently in use (Figure 5.61). None appear to have been built by the WRA; all are likely pre-existing buildings taken over when the WRA purchased the land. Except for the Lamar Canal, the fields and canals used by evacuees are still in use.

Some building locations now have mobile homes, which may be making use of old foundations or utilities. An old rock building and other ruins remain at the Koen townsite, and there is a rock house ruin just east of town in the same location as one of the WRA buildings depicted on the map. At the XY Ranch, there are two warehouses and two mobile homes. Several relocated barracks from the relocation center are still in the surrounding area (Figure 5.62).
